I don't rhyme enough, eh? (Ode) by Niphredil

Rhyming is not all-important. I know For some it's a challenge, a chance for a show, But let all beware of those who coerce Their disordered feelings to pre-ordered verse. I'm sure that a poem is oft viewed as neater When properly rhymed and according to meter If genius strikes you, by all means then rhyme; Less than that shall be denounced as a crime.

Hip-hop? I don't think so. I mean, out of all the rappers you've ever heard, how many of them were saying something? (all of them, you'd think?) No. Most just sing about how they're the biggest gangsta in the mothafuckin' hood and have all the best bitches and weed. That's not poetry or anything like it, it's simply ludicrous and an excuse for music with no content.

I've heard very few hip-hop songs that made me stop and think. Maybe it's degenerated and I admit that in Israel rapping on the corner is pretty rare, but I don't have much appreciation for hip-hop as a genre. Sorry.
